Objective: Vitamin D is a hormone that plays an important role in calcium metabolism and bone health. It is also known that vitamin D has many non-skeletal functions. The liver is one of the main organs involved in vitamin D metabolism. Recent studies have shown that patients with chronic liver disease have a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency. But in childhood there is little work on this.  Method and Method: The levels of vitamin D and therapeutic responses of children monitored with the diagnosis of chronic liver disease are recurrently evaluated from the files. In the four-year period, the registration data of the total of 50 patients, including 17 (34 percent) girls and 33 (66 percent) men, was reached. Results: The diagnosed average age of 50 patients in the study was 7.83 (±3.70) years and in 29 (%48) there was a deficiency or deficiency in vitamin D levels (medium 25-OH vitamin D: 12.79 (±4.63) ng/ml).  Recovery was provided in 82.8% of patients with post-treatment vitamin D deficiency or deficiency, while in 5 patients (17.2%) there was no sufficient response. In the case of cholestasis, the response to the treatment was reduced.  The result: As the levels of vitamin D in patients monitored due to chronic liver disease may be low, patients must be examined and treated in this regard. This also provides support for the current disease.
